Understanding what is holding you back is important. However, I want to take you to the next level. While I don’t minimize the real problems in your life, my primary focus is to identify and use your strengths to move you in the direction of your optimal level of well being. When it comes to deciding on what interventions we will implement to move you forward, I will provide you with options that are compatible with your personality. I am passionate about working with teens (12-18yrs) and adults!

Individual therapy is NOT simply sitting down and talking about problems! Well, what is it you might ask? Though there is some venting and talking about frustrations, therapy is primarily focused on where you want to go and how to get there. No matter the problem holding you back, we can work together on finding effective solutions!

I graduated from Naropa University's Somatic Counseling Psychology Masters Program and am currently working at the Addictions Recovery Center, Intensive Services through Boulder County Public Health.

I hold an MA in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Addiction Specialist, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

My own path through developmental trauma, addiction, and depression shapes my life's work — two decades of meditation practice and clinical training in service of healing myself and others.

My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing with PACT, Pre- and Perinatal Psychology, Parts Work, and attachment-based therapy.

I'm part of Somatic Spiritual Counseling, a Boulder-based practice now spanning Colorado and North Carolina, offering trauma therapy, somatic work, couples counseling, and addiction-informed care in-person and virtually. I specialize in developmental trauma, C-PTSD, and addiction, and offer both individual and couples sessions.

I provide individual, couples and family therapy, mediation, group facilitation and parenting time evaluations. My counseling approach is transformational, with a focus on strengthening resourcefulness and well being. I am committed to deeply understanding my client's needs and to offering the best approach for the whole person or whole relationship. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples and groups where cross-cultural or cross-differences impact their experiences.I also work with individuals that have experienced trauma, including returning veterans, hold EMDR and other helpful certifications and have trained with Nakwatsvewat Institute (Hopi Approach), the Amen Institute and Brain Matters, Inc. regarding brain injuries and health.
